RedHat 8.0 stock python:
Name        : python                       Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version     : 2.2.1                             Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

I also have and need python-devel 2.2.1 I tried to upgrade just python-devel
to 2.2.2 and mailman stopped sending messages for the duration that it was
the old version. I'll bite and upgrade to the newest available python and
see what is going on.
